World Energy

Abstract

It is the job of governments to take the decisions that will deliver a secure and sustainable energy future. They can make wise decisions only if they are well-informed and advised. That is the job of bodies such as the International Energy Agency (IEA),which it has beenmy privilege to lead since September 2011. The World Energy Outlook (WEO) team, under the Agencys Chief Economist, Fatih Birol, has again done an outstanding job in WEO-2011 to underpin sound energy decision making. With the invaluable help of many global experts inside and outside the Agency, the team has given us awealth of current energy information, analysis and perspectives on the future.
